African Elephant Bronze Statue

The elephant can be envisioned trekking slowly and majestically across the ceaseless dryness of a plain in search of a watering hole or the shade of a tree. He pulls his trunk upward as he passes on by with a tender passivity to his eyes. For years the elephant has been known as a sacred animal in the East. As the largest animal to walk the Earth, the elephant is known as a symbol of strength and power. In Buddhist cultures, white elephants are symbolic of patience and wisdom. The Chinese see elephants as a symbol of energy, strength, and power. Ganesha is a Hindu deity with an elephant head. The bronze sculpture was molded using the ancient method of lost-wax casting and stained with a brown patina finish for preservation and is mounted upon a marble base. Dimensions: Height 11 X Width 18 inches. Weight: 24 LBS.
